AP Transfer Credit

With transfer credit, the most commonly awarded of the three options, you receive university-level credit for AP work completed in high school. Transfer credit can allow you to free up time in your university course schedule and save money. While we encourage students to retain the transfer credit they have earned, you do have the option to decline it at the time of admission.

Notes

For students entering the Faculty of Engineering, transfer credit for the first (qualifying) year courses does not reduce the minimum load requirement of 37.0 units.

Students wishing to pursue credit by special assessment, please refer to the University Calendar for information.

Students who are eligible for Advanced Placement may register in a senior course. In the case of Language other than English courses students with Advanced Placement will be permitted to register in a senior level course after determination of their background qualifications for that course (interview, placement test, etc.). Students may also challenge a junior or senior course for credit via the Credit by Special Assessment route if they have appropriate qualifications and are eligible within the regulations.

Students who have not taken Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism and wish to take further Physics courses should consult the Department of Physics.

When students are instructed "not to take" a specific course and a generic 100-level credit is granted, this credit may be used to meet the prerequisite for any higher level course requiring the specific course in question.
